A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 199 It's a Good Deal

"Well, that..." when Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei heard Wang Liang's pleas, they froze. Their

expressions went livid instantly and looked like they were put in a difficult position.

How could they lower themselves to beg a country bumpkin? And Qiu Mu-Cheng too?

How could they?

Qiu Mu-Ying had always been competitive and arrogant, so she found it unacceptable and was

incapable of speaking on his behalf.

She and Qiu Mu-Cheng had a longstanding feud at the Qius after all. They opposed each other like fire

and water. How could she beg the person she looked down on?

It was not merely a matter of asking a favor, but a question of pride between women.

If she were to speak up, it meant she could not be compared to Qiu Mu-Cheng.

So naturally, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

On the other hand, Chu Wen-Fei was a rich man's son, he couldn't lower himself to beg Ye Fan and the

others either.

A lowly son-in-law who married into his wife's family had no right to expect that of him.

But Wang Liang was their friend after all, so Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei could not stand by and

leave him in the lurch.

In the end, Qiu Mu-Ying walked up straight to Shen Fei instead and said, "Young Master Shen, since

we're acquainted, can you do me a favor and forgive Uncle Wang this once?"

"Yes, Young Master Shen. Couldn't you do us this favor? Besides, Uncle Wang was doing it for the

sake of the company, so there's no need to be so extreme," persuaded Chu Wen-Fei.

When Shen Fei heard this, he burst into laughter. He looked at Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei coldly

and said, "Do you a

favor?"

"Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Unless Mr Ye asks me to do this himself, no one else can save him today. Moreover, it's not up to

people like you who don't know better to criticize how I deal with my subordinates!” Shen Fei was very

harsh about it and didn't go easy on Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei at all.

This was Yunzhou, so Shen Fei wasn't afraid of anyone else besides a handful of people.

So what if this Qiu Mu-Ying was the most beloved daughter of Master Qiu?

Shen Fei didn't even care about Master Qiu, much less one little Qiu Mu-Ying.

"You...You..." Qiu Mu-Ying was so furious that her pretty little face flushed red while she trembled.

Qiu Mu-Ying was accustomed to being domineering at the Qius and never suffered such humiliation.

And this was happening in front of Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan no less.

In a fit of anger, Qiu Mu-Ying almost wanted to retort. But after she opened her mouth, she didn't dare

to speak a word.

Qiu Mu-Ying could heedlessly abuse Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan verbally but didn't dare offend the heir

of Shen Group after all.

In the end, it was too embarrassing for the husband and wife to linger on, so they walked away angrily.

Qiu Mu-Ying even glared coldly at Qiu Mu-Cheng before they left.

"Humph, Qiu Mu-Cheng! Don't think I'll look at you different just because of what happened today!

Losers like you can only rely on others. If you're that great, then rely on only yourself!” But when Qiu

Mu-Ying said these words, she was clearly not confident enough and just sounded like a withered

eggplant.

Of course, Ye Fan and the others couldn't be bothered with Qiu Mu-Ying's words.

People like them always made all sorts of excuses to belittle others and refused to admit others'

excellence. Their narrowmindedness and self-denial made it hard for them to succeed in the future.

Since Master Qiu handed the company over to her, she was bound to ruin it sooner or later.

Ye Fan nodded and smiled. He had no time to waste on an insignificant woman like her.

"Mr Ye, I see you came early. Are you here for the jade showcase? Other than the auction at night, the

biggest attraction at Shanshui Hall is the daytime jade showcase. A jade rock gambling event will be

included. A lot of people like the thrill of gambling and find it immensely exciting. Shao-Jie is an expert

in the rock gambling circles."

"If you want to find out more about rock gambling, you can ask Shao-Jie."

When he saw Ye Fan, Shen Fei instinctively thought he was here to gamble rocks just like them.

After all, the most presentable daytime event at the hall was the rock gambling event. A lot of influential

big shots came to join in the fun.

But too bad, Shen Fei was overthinking it.

"I'm here to keep my wife company,” said Ye Fan calmly.

At this very moment, Ye Fan heard his wife calling him. He quickly waved his hand and replied, "Honey,

I'm coming."

After Ye Fan shouted, he turned to say to Shen Fei, "Well, my wife is calling me, so I have to go over.

Since I don't have time, we can catch up some other time."

Shen Fei had wanted to introduce Han Shao-Jie to Ye Fan, but of course Ye Fan wasn't free. He just

quickly told Shen Fei he was leaving before scurrying off to meet with Qiu Mu-Cheng.

At the sight of the man losing all greatness before his wife, both Shen Fei and Han

Shao-Jie eyes twitched at the same time.

Han Shao-Jie, "Fei, is he the big shot you were talking about?"

Shen Fei replied, "He should be the one.”

Han Shao-Jie said, "Why doesn't he feel like one? He seems more like some bullied husband who © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

married into his wife's family.”

Shen Fei suggested, "Perhaps...that's what big shots are like? Maybe they typically have some unusual

traits, such as being afraid of dogs or their wives?"

Shen Fei tried his best to explain.

Han Shao-Jie contemplated this for a while before concluding, "I think it's more dignified to fear dogs.”

Shen Fei had no words for that.

After Ye Fan left, the two didn't linger about any long and went upstairs to the jade showrooms instead.

"Have you returned the diamond ring to Young Master Shen as I asked?"

"That gift was too expensive. I can't accept it," said Qiu Mu-Cheng when she saw Ye Fan coming.

She didn't expect the 'Tears of a Lover' diamond ring to be so valuable that was now worth nearly ten

million.

It was enough to purchase half of Qiushui Logistics' assets.

Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't accept something this expensive and meant to find a chance to return it to

Shen Fei. Now that they happened to cross paths, Qiu Mu-Cheng made Ye Fan return it to him.

But Ye Fan chuckled instead and shamelessly lied, "Of course I tried to return it, but he refused to

accept it. He insisted that this diamond ring was custom made for you. Only you are fit to wear

something that noble and elegant."

"Then what did you say?” asked Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Ye Fan continued to say, "I didn't say much. I only said he had a keen eye and that I agreed with him."

PFFFT.

Su Qian was drinking mineral water beside Qiu Mu-Cheng when she heard these words. She burst out

laughing so loudly that she sprayed all the water out of her mouth and looked terrible.

"Haha! Mu-Cheng, I realized that your husband is really the ultimate. He's really too shameless, and I

have to agree. Are you trying to make me die of laughter so that you can inherit my money?"

Su Qian was laughing almost hysterically. Shen Fei was just being polite but Ye Fan actually took his

words seriously.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was so angry that her face went thoroughly red. She glared at Ye Fan and said

furiously, "How can you say that just because he did? Can't you be a little

modest?"

"You make me so angry!"

"Also, did you return the diamond ring or not?"

"No, I didn't. How could I return it after he said that? The diamond ring has to be worn by someone who

suits it to bloom and shine the most brightly. Since it suits you the best, you should wear it. As for its

price, there's nothing to feel guilty about. One diamond ring was enough to save the lives of everyone

in the Shen family, so it's a real bargain forthem!" said Ye Fan indifferently.

"What do you mean by it was enough to save the lives of everyone in the Shen family?" Su Qian and

Qiu Mu-Cheng were both surprised.

Ye Fan laughed out loud and said, "There's nothing more to be said. I saved them before and they owe

me one. Doesn't it make sense for me to accept their diamond ring?”

When Shen Fei offended Qiu Mu-Cheng, Ye Fan wanted Li Er to eradicate the Shens from Yunzhou.

In the end, he let them off considering how sincere they were with their apology.

So looking at the situation from this perspective, it could be said that Ye Fan had saved the lives of

everyone in the Shen family.
